Before you use the report panel, you need to have scanned one or more folders for disk space, or for duplicate files. To select the report you want to see, click on one of the tabs at the top of the report panel. The report panel can show each of the following reports.
This report shows the total size of all files in each scanned folder, including subfolders. It also shows the total size of all the subfolders under each folder. The folders are sorted first by depth (i.e. how deep in the folder hierarchy they are), and then by size, with the largest shown first. The size shown is either the total disk space used by the files, or the sum of the individual file sizes, depending on the option set on the Report Options panel.

This report shows all the duplicate files. The first column shows the file sizes. If the option to show the last-modified time is selected in the Report Options panel, then the second column shows the last-modified time for each file. The last column shows the duplicate files.
The files are grouped so that files that are duplicates of each other are shown together. Each set of duplicate files is separated by a blank line. Since the size of all files that are duplicates of each other must obviously be the same, the size is only shown once per duplicates set.
This report shows all the duplicate folders. The first column shows the total size. This is shown either as the total disk space used by the files, or the sum of the individual file sizes, depending on the option set on the Report Options panel. Note that since duplicate folders might be on different disks, it is possible to have a different size shown even though the folders contain identical files, if the disks have different cluster sizes. The second column shows the path to the folder.

The following buttons are at the bottom of the report panel:
| Options | This brings up the Options panel with the Report tab selected. This allows you to make changes to the report options while the Report Panel is displayed. |
| Copy To Clipboard | Copies the current selection from the current report to the clipboard. A selection can be made in the current report by dragging over the part you want to select. If there is no selection, then the whole report is copied to the clipboard. This can then be copied into another application. When a report is copied to the clipboard, the columns in the reports are separated by the TAB character. This means that the data can be copied into a spreadsheet such as Excel, and the data will be copied properly into rows and columns. It is then easy to make charts of the data if you want to see the results graphically. |
| Prints the current selection from the current report, or the entire report if there is no selection. | |
| OK | Closes the report panel. |
